Effective Team Sourcing Solutions Time is of the essence when you want to add a new strategy. You need a team with a proven track record and tight synergy to bring in the profits quickly. Alpha Search Advisory Partners is able to source your ‘dream team’, enabling you to cost-effectively enter new product lines and geographic regions rapidly through lift-out transactions. At Alpha Search we believe that the Portfolio Manager or Team Leader is the best advocate for pulling the entire team. We start by sourcing the top member of the team and work with you to position him at the right level of influence in the organizational structure and develop a compelling compensation structure that directly induces him to pull his entire team. You gain by having a team that is highly functional and reports into a manager they understand and respect. You further benefit by a team that can execute your strategies immediately, and already operates as a cohesive unit. The key benefit Alpha Search brings to you in this process is in finding the right team to fit your firm’s culture and direction while managing the complexity of this multi-party transaction. We work with you to create the right structure to bring new teams into your organization and negotiate among all parties involved to ensure that expectations are met and that the team can be productive from day one. Team sourcing is an effective solution for diversification and a comparatively low-risk, low-cost alternative to a merger or acquisition. This strategy is far less disruptive to your organization than a full-scale merger or corporate acquisition. With Team Sourcing, you get ONLY the profit-producers with no requirement to manage extraneous headcount or redundancy issues. Team Sourcing solves your tactical issues while keeping you and your firm fully in command at the corporate helm. Alpha Search Advisory Partners has been engaged by clients to quickly identify spin-out teams and aid in the formation of new funds for both large multi-strategy firms as well as single-strategy firms seeking growth and diversification. With long-standing relationships in the alternative investment management community our partners have access to a broad network of individual and team talent. They also have the experience necessary to add tremendous value to the complex process of recruiting teams and constructing compelling compensation programs.
